Network Usage/Transmission

HOPS provides users with access to the network on a regulated basis, in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Croatia, European Union’s guidelines, the Operational Handbook of the ENTSO-E’s Regional Group for Continental Europe, and other ENTSO-E official documents.

HOPS will provide users the access and the use to the network whenever the technical conditions exist. Only in the event of limited transmission capacity, network congestion or force majeure, HOPS may either limit or not grant the access to the network. In such a case, HOPS will inform users who are denied access to the network in writing of the reasons for denying access to the network. Users who are denied access to the network or did not fulfill the conditions for access to the network, may file a complaint to the Croatian Energy Regulatory Agency (HERA).

The user may access the network if they are connected to the network or if they have signed a Contract on Access to Use of Cross-Border Transfer Capacity for the Import, Export or Transit of Electricity.

The transmission network user pays a fee for the use of the transmission network in accordance with the Decision on the Amount of Tariff Items for the Transmission of Electricity (Official Gazette No. 145/2024).

Tariff items for electricity transmission from 1 January 2025.
